So this pencil is TINY. Like, really really tiny. It didn't register how small
it actually is until I was holding it in my hand. I can't use it for too long or
my hands starts to ache from gripping such a small object. Recommended for the
more petite if you plan to use it for longer stretches.
That said! I really like this little thing and will be ordering a few more in
different colours. It's very sturdy, has a good weight to it (really!) and clips
securely. The eraser is nothing to write home about, but it doesn't streak or
crumble or anything.
I found a surprising use for it that I feel the need to share. On a lark, I used
this instead of my primary mechanical pencil (large, heavy, 0.5) for a few study
pages in my sketchbook, and found myself unconsciously drawing smaller, tighter
lines. I wound up filling the page with about twice as many little diagrams as I
normally would have, with notations crammed into the tightest spaces, even
though the lead size is the same as I usually use. I definitely wouldn't use it
for loose, shaded sketches, but it's going to be right at home with the kit I
use to doodle in coffee shops or on the train.
It looks nice, feels nice, is extremely portable and I'm not afraid of possibly
breaking it despite its size.

This pencil although very small, it is hard to get a very good grip on it.
However, the slim style makes it easy to store but easy to lose at the same
time! The clip works okay, but I suggest not to use it too much! This pencil
for me seems a little hard to write neatly with. I would suggest the Ohto mech
pencil.
